Help people is what we do…

Safetynet Children & Youth Charities services families with clothing, diaper, tutoring, and music. We rely on community donations to provide free clothing to financially disadvantaged families.

Important: We have moved to 482 South Service Road East, Oakville. Two orange drop boxes are at the back of the laneway, Safetynet is at the far end of the parking lot in unit 203. We look forward to seeing you in our new home, all clothing donations welcome!

It's a pleasure to serve you

Safetynet provides programming that encourages independence and helps to break the cycle of poverty.

If your family is suffering financial hardship, feel free to contact Safetynet for a needs assessment. A needs assessment is where families are invited to sit down with one of our volunteers to develop a plan to best service the entire family. We will determine if you require one of Safetynet's programs, or we will refer you to another community partner who can better assist your needs.

The services at Safety Net have been life saving…! The kind and genuine support I’ve received is so comforting and generous. Bill is almost like that Uncle you never had who just wants you to be happy and make sure you have what you need.. And although I don’t know him well, the few times I’ve seen him I can just tell he loves what he does. I wish him all the good karma he deserves 🙂

Through the services offered by Safetynet, My daughter has been taking music lessons and has been receiving tutoring. She has benefited tremendously fron her one to one lessons and help from her caring, dedicated instructors. She enjoys the time that she spends with her instructors. They have given her more confidence in her abilities, and improved her self-esteem.

I have been going to Safetynet for over a year. I am a single mother of two girls, both of them are receiving tutoring, and music lessons. Bill Shields is the kindest, funniest, and most giving person I have ever met. He will go out of his way to help anyone. He has helped me with food, furniture, and welcomed advice for the obstacles I am trying to overcome. Every single one of the tutors that volunteer there are the kindest, most patient people. They have helped my daughters with the struggles that they face. I really don’t know what I would do without Bill and Safetynet. Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to help me with!

There has been an incredible amount of help from Bill with clothing, tutoring and toys for my son. This has helped me in so meny ways and has given me the ability to give my son all he wants. I would like to say thank you to Bill at Safetyney for what he has done for my family and the community.
